And now I remember why I stopped using this App. Follow me on 🟦☁️ if you want to hear opinions of transportation; same @ and all that.
Because @RideUTA TRAX doesn't get signal priority, the light turned red right right as my Red Line approached Courthouse Station making 200+ riders have to wait for about 40 something drivers.

The loud sound generated by a freight train passing North Temple is less about the speed the trains travel at and more about the curve it needs to take. At Murray Central there it is just a straight away so there sound is much more bearable despite traveling at a good clip.
This is the sound of a freight train taking the curve by North Temple Station at speed. WEConnect currently has no plans to reduce the hearing damage this does to riders waiting for the FrontRunner.

While the @RioGrandePlan wouldn't directly solve this issue until Phase 3 when the train box is extended up to 400 North and 1000 West, it is still more than the WEConnect currently promises which doesn't even include sound walls let alone lid to contain the sound. #BuryTheRails

Finally catching up to logging this train. It blocked 800 and 900 South for an hour while also lurching forward halfway through to also block 200 South for half an hour. #BuryTheRails
Good morning from the west side #slc

This is precision scheduled railroading at its finest. Overly long trains that small crews can't manage especially when stopped for extremely long times due to a lack of investment into physical infrastructure.
A freight train was robbed today at 24th & Marshfield around 9am. A recent national analysis found that freight train theft has grown into a multimillion-dollar problem

Alert didn't go out until after the train had already been taken out of service (Photo take at 7:13a). The trains are already nearing capacity as it is so I hope I can still board the next train let alone with my folding bike.
#FrontRunner Alert 7:15 AM: On FrontRunner southbound, the 7:06 AM train out of Salt Lake Central Station will not complete its trip and will be removed from service due to mechanical issues. For more information call 801-743-3882 or download the Transit app to track your train.

A reminder that the university does this between the 3rd and 4th quarter when it should be completely quiet in remembrance of those lost in the 2008 Cole Hall Shooting.
You're getting blown out. Scrap this 😂

Thank @slcmoves for finally getting the 300 North Bikeway reopened at 500 West.
Strange coincidence how when I accuse the city of literally selling out the bike lanes, all of the "Bike Lane Closed" Signs are turned around and the barriers are moved out of the way if not removed entirely.

And thank you for getting the lights in the 300 North Pedestrian Bridge working again too.
Replying to @AnalytiKroll
Also @slcmoves, all the lights are all out on the 300 North Pedestrian Bridge. This greatly reduces safety due to not being able to see whats ahead or behind you.

According to the workers that keep parking their trucks there, the contractor rented the space out for them. Please @slcmoves, tell that you aren't making a profit by forcing cyclists off of their protected bikeway.

Still not a morning this week where I haven't had to fold up my bike.
Back-to-Back days of needing to fold my bike to get it to fit on FrontRunner

I am really starting to think all of my reports to SLC Urban Services go nowhere as the same vehicles continue to park in the 300 North Bikeway.

Yet another day of needing to use the folding capability of my bike in order to not have to stand with it during my ride on the FrontRunner.

While this won't be completely solve until Phase 3 if we #BuryTheRails, it is still more than what is currently being proposed.

Same trucks have been blocking the bike lane for almost a week now. When will @slcmoves open it and Urban Services actually enforce parking restrictions?
